Chapter 5.2, Problem 60E

Richter scale Use the formula R = l o g ( I / I 0 ) in Problems 59-62. (Source: Earthquake data from the U.S. Geological Survey.)

In May 2008, an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale struck near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. In March 2011, a quake measuring 9.0 struck that same region. How many times more intense was the 2011 quake than the one in 2008?
